It’s one I’m a bit nervous about, but I know without a shadow of a doubt this is where the Lord continues to lead me.

Like that horse trained to trust, trained to move and flex and go where sometimes it doesn’t want to go. I too must follow and allow myself to be led.

Wherever that ends up being.

So here it is……

My book is done.

Finished.

Available.

Ready.

Please take the time to watch this video. For those of you part of the Word of Life family a familiar face to you did this. Thank you SO much Brian Hosan for putting this together in the special way that only you can!

And thank you to everyone else. Those who helped me, walked along side me, prayed for me and with me and to those who continue on in this journey with us!

Oh my word. Randi I’m so proud of you. I had no idea you were writing a book. We prayed so much for you and Graham during those unknown months. Can’t wait to get it and read it! God bless you richly as you continue to love and serve him.

Hi Randi thank you for sharing your and Graham’s story. I have known Graham for a dozen or so years and love and respect him very much. Your family remains in our prayers today as in the days following the accident.

I am not much of a go to type of person I choose to pray in the private for folks. I know many men feel as I do when something of this magnitude happens we need our privacy. Then later it is time for family and friends after God’s healing process is in progress.

I to believe God blesses us abundantly when our faith prevails when satan puts us under such tribulations . We have His Word to stand on for this truth a couple of verse come to mind: Acts 16:25 and John 16:33 (KJV).

My kids were at the rodeo and my husband and I were sitting outside our camper at the Family Campground when we heard the screaming sirens and instantly started praying. May God bless your family as you continue to walk this path he has set out for you.

So glad that you have taken the time to share your story! A busy mother has SO little time… and a wife has even less. However, you chose to trust God with all of it. Thanks for your message that honors God!

Synopsis

On July 30, 2010, just before their 7th wedding anniversary, Randi watched helplessly as her husband and his horse slammed to the rodeo’s arena floor. Until that moment, as a ranch horsemanship director, she had life by the reins. She loved instructing children, working with the horses and coordinating the ranch rodeo. However, in that one tragic moment, she began to learn that many things were outside of her control. As Graham lay in a coma with a traumatic brain injury and with nothing but bad news upon bad news coming from the doctors, Randi painstakingly grappled for the courage to face the difficult run before her.

The hundreds who witnessed the accident in the rodeo arena and the thousands who followed the story on social media will find new depth of insight as Randi gives a soul-searching account of her transformation and shares all that God showed her in the shadow of death.

This story will inspire you to allow God to have His way with you, even if it means facing your own Dark Stretch.
